I have a Toshiba XM-3201B (in enclosure) and I have questions concerning the installation of this drive on an SE/30. Is the Apple CD-Rom software supposed to work with this drive? If so, what switch settings or other adjustment must be made to the drive or the Mac? Is it necessary to get the Toshiba Mac Kit? (Includes S/W) Any other suggestions regarding how I can successfully connect this drive to a Mac would be appreciated. Thank You, Larry Autry autry@sgi.com

No, the AppleCD SC driver works only with the AppleCD SC drive. The Toshiba driver sold by Toshiba works with their drive. >Is it necessary to get the Toshiba Mac Kit? (Includes S/W) Yes, unless you care to try a third-party driver. >Any other suggestions regarding how I can successfully connect this >drive to a Mac would be appreciated. You can purchase a driver from Optical Media International or Trantor Systems that may work. --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com "My opinion, not Apple's"

For the software driver, you can't use the AppleCD Driver, but all of the other files (ISO 9660, High Sierra) are the same. You can even use the CD Remote DA. If you want just the driver, I bought it from CD Technology here in San Jose for $50. I just asked for the software update. As far as switch setting, the software I got from them had a book with all of the proper settings in it. I think it was the first three from the left are the SCSI ID, then everything else is off except for the parity, the second from the right. That should do it. If you need more info, send me some e-mail and I'll bring in my owners manual with all of the details. scott Scott Gustafson (408) 944-4672 me (408) 553-8713 beeper Valid Logic Systems, 3 West Plumeria M.S.-C1, San Jose, CA 95134 Internet: scott@valid.com
